Kodi Appreciation Society

Ah. That's more like it.

[Tania]

I want to rub her belly and give her dog treats.

[Janiece]

I'm so a member.

[Jeri]

I'm definitely a fan of the underappreciated (and, also, utterly spoiled) canines of the world!

[Joe]

I appreciate. That dog looks all relaxed and stuff!

Scouring Google Images for the finest in Kodi photojournalism, KAS Central* brings you her ownself eating leftover chili in the bathtub. Now, we luvz kitty-katz and tetras and cockatiels and whatnot, but seriously. Let's see one of them try this. That's a good girl.

Scalzi explains (from By the Way, Nov. 22, 2005):

You may reasonably ask: How does a dog manage to eat leftover chili in the bathtub? Well, to begin, the dog was already in the tub. Over the last week or so, she's decided it's her new hangout, and, you know, why not? As for the leftover chili, I was having some for lunch and then I got full, and it seemed a shame to throw it away, if only because that would have meant going downstairs to put it into the sink disposal unit. I knew Kodi would be more than pleased to deal with the chili, and she was right in the next room. Everybody wins.

Folks, I contend you can't pay for this kind of entertainment.

*Completely meaningless. The Kodi Appreciation Society in fact has no command structure, no community expectations, and no obeisance to non-human family members -- um, not that there's anything wrong with that.
